Listen up, folks! After months of sneaking around behind palace walls, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally stepped into the spotlight, confirming their romance and sparking endless wedding speculation. On September 23, 2017, Meghan, a radiant 36-year-old, couldn’t help but beam with pride as she cheered on her 33-year-old boyfriend, Harry, during the opening of the prestigious 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada. It was a moment that captured hearts worldwide.

Now, here’s the inside scoop: We’ve learned that Meghan is absolutely loving her time with Harry. Master Sgt. Kyle Burnett, a 37-year-old from the US Air Force, shared with People, “I asked Harry how his girlfriend was enjoying it, and he said, ‘She loves it, she’s loving the games,’ which is just adorable.” Can you picture the charm and warmth in that exchange? It’s heartwarming to see how much they truly care for each other.

Since Meghan and Harry aren’t married yet, royal protocol required her to sit separately from Harry in the VIP box during the event. But don’t worry—she was only a few feet away, seated alongside her best friend Markus Anderson, the mutual friend who introduced the couple. When Harry took the stage to deliver an inspiring speech to the crowd, Meghan clapped and smiled with pride. “You are all winners. You are Invictus,” Harry declared, leaving Meghan and the audience utterly captivated. For a closer look, check out the video of Harry’s speech below!

Throughout the event, Harry couldn’t keep his eyes off Meghan, who was seated just four rows below him. The couple may have been physically apart, but their connection was undeniable. Interestingly, Meghan had her own Scotland Yard protection officer assigned to her—a clear sign of the seriousness of their relationship, as royal protection officers typically only guard members of the royal family. Despite the distance, the couple was later spotted holding hands and sitting together, proving that love always finds a way.

The First Official Outing: A Milestone in Their Journey

This event marked a significant milestone for Harry and Meghan, who had been dating for just over a year. Up until this point, they had gone to great lengths to keep their relationship private, only being spotted together a handful of times in public. In March, Meghan attended her boyfriend’s best friend Tom Inskip’s wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica, as his plus one. In May, she was seen cheering Harry on from the stands at a charity polo match in Ascot, England. Their appearance at the Invictus Games felt like the perfect platform for their debut, considering they first connected at the 2016 event.
